LittleHurt05 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 01:01 PM) Nice AB Dunn. Couldn't you have just struck out again? LOL, seriously. He has had more GIDP than normal recently. I miss the strikeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, with the amount of doubles Rios hits it's not like he'd be taking anything away from Konerko and Dunn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 02:01 PM) Why can't Rios hit 3rd Id rather just switch Paulie & Dunn, Rios is very comfortable in that 5 spot. Paulie Dunn Rios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The Sox get stuck playing 16 of 19 on the road, get swept in Detroit, and if you go down the roster, except for Rios, just about everyone has struggled mightily at some point recently, yet they still are in first place. It's truly amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but this was at the game on the 30th. We were all guessing where he got shipped to(he got traded during the game). I thought maybe he got moved here and this fat guy infront of me said he plays IF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some home cooking should do the trick. Its been just a brutal schedule for us coming out of the break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) I remember watching Peavy pitch a game against the Dodgers when he was hitting 96 in the bottom of the 8th with some filthy breaking stuff. Threw a 2 or 3 hit shutout. I'm impressed with how he still pitches so well with such a drop in velocity. I believe its the 3/4 delivery of his that makes him so good. Yea he was lights out throwing the high heat, but his unique delivery makes him very hard to hit. I think most of his struggles that stemmed from his injuries was the fact he wasn't able to get his mechanics back to where it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Rios needs to be batting 3rd. He has been our most consistent hitter all year. No reason to have Dunn hitting in the 3 spot. I have never understood that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood that. As frustrating as Dunn can be, he walks a ton, and you waste a lot of his walks if you don't have your two bets hitters batting AFTER him. Also don't want Dunn and AJ hitting back-to-back. AJ sees less LOOGYs in the late innings because they won't stay in to face Konerko-Rios after Dunn.

Rios is the best bat on this club right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
